Beware Of Bubble Machine , or. Pizza Wagon Rides Again 

TICKET RASH “-~- 

ANGERS PARKERS 


Park In Lots 
Ansiver Police 

Students who have been victim 
to the recent plague of parking 
tickets around the University’s ad¬ 
joining by ways are asked to take 
note that the big black car with the 
little red bubble (the Windsor Po¬ 
lice Dept.) will continue its pocket- 
pinching barrage against the “law¬ 
breakers” in response to complaints 
from a number of residents living 
in this vicinty. 

According to Staff Sgt. Duncan 
of the Police Dept., bylaw 2079 - 
to Regulate Traffic within the City 
of Windsor, Section 33a, states: 
“No vehicle shall be parked on a 
street at any one time for a period 
in excess of six hours.” 

* * * * * 

Rev. E. C. LeBel, principal, in 
a letter released by the Develop¬ 
ment Office, has denied rumours 
that the University have re¬ 
quested police to ticket cars 
parked on adjacent streets to 
force faculty, staff and students 
to use the University parking lot. 

According to the letter, the 
complaints from neighbours give 
police no choice but to enforce the 
law which prohibits parking on 
any street for more than six 
hours. 

* * * * * 

“Ordinarily,” said Sgt. Duncan, 
“this law is not strongly enforced. 
However, the residents have a 
just cause to complain and we 
would like to keep the students 
from parking all day on Patricia 
Rd., if possible. We won’t bother 
those cars parked on Huron Line 
between Wyandotte and Univer¬ 
sity or those on University Ave. 
between Huron Line and Patricia 
Rd.” The department hands out 
from eight to 10 tickets a day on 
Patricia Rd. alone. 

The University has made it clear 
that there is ample parking space in 
the parking lots under the Ambas¬ 
sador Bridge along Huron Line and 
for one thin dime (10c) a student 
may, if he wishes, leave his car 
there all day, all week, or even all 
winter. This is noteworthy altern¬ 
ative for students with cars who are 
planning to remain on campus be¬ 
yond the six hour parking limit. 


Ski Party 
Sunday 

All are welcome to join in an 
afternoon of skiing, skating, and 
tobogganing at Mt. Brighton, 
Michigan, on Sunday, February 
11th. The bus fare will cost $1.00 
plus $5.00 for skis which will be 
fitted any time before February 11th 
at Sportland on Chatham street in 
downtown Windsor. Those who 
wish to skate — bring your skates, 
and a small fee for toboggans will 
be charged. All wishing to go please 
contact Kathy Gilbert, or any 
W.A.C. member as soon as possible. 


TEN MINUTE RUSH — It’s a mad break to the 
street, a bit of hard rubbing and back to class again 
for students with cars parked along Patricia Road. 


Above, a group of unidentified students remove in¬ 
criminating evidence from the tires of their cars 
parked in front of Dillon Hall. 


SPRING FANTASY 
COMING SOON 

Neiv Members 
Sought 

By The Music Department 

The Music and Chorale Society 
of Assumption University is now 
beginning preparation for its pre¬ 
sentation of the student’s annual 
Spring Concert to be held on or 
about April 1st. 

In the past we have found an in¬ 
creasing interest has been given to 
this phase of extracurricular acti- 
ities. The Christmas Phantasy in 
which the society took a part was 
indeed satisfactory and the warm 
commendations received were en¬ 
couraging. 

We feel however, that there are 
many students on campus who, ex¬ 
cept for heavy academic schedules, 
would be happy to join us an ac¬ 
tively participate in this student- 
produced program. It may surprise 
you to know that we require only 
about one hour of your time each 
week and that this hour we may 
boldly venture to say is one that 
you will find thoroughly enjoyable 
as well as profitable. 

Our common factor exists in the 
mere fact that we all enjoy good 
music and realize that the produc¬ 
tion of good music comes first from 
the heart. Whether you play an in¬ 
strument or enjoy singing good 
music we would be most happy to 
have you with us and you in turn, 
will find this activity a most satisfy¬ 
ing one. Do not think about it too 
long, act now! The Spring Concert 
is less than 10 weeks away. By 
dropping into the Music Depart¬ 
ment on 343 Sunset Rd. and giving 
your name, you may become a mem¬ 
ber of Assumption’s Choral group. 


Council Demands Repeal 
Of “Student Dress ” Rule 


The Student Administrative-^ 
Council in a motion passed unan¬ 
imously has made a strong appeal 
to the House Rules committee to 
revoke a “bylaw” of the University 
Centre which states that all men 
must wear suitcoats or sportcoats 
during the dinner hour. Girls must 
wear a shirt and blouse if they wish 
to be served. 

The object of the rule was to re¬ 
quest appropriate dressing from all 
students, but, according to Paul 
Mitchell, director of university af¬ 
fairs, a mockery has been made of 
this rule. He charged that students 
were attending dinner in blue jeans 
and T-shirt — with a sports coat. 

He also claimed an injustice was 
being made when day students, who 
remain at school for supper, can¬ 
not eat in the main cafeteria unless 
they are dressed according to the 
rules. 

It was the decision of the 
Council that the rule should be 
repealed and that* all students, as 
long as they are neatly attired, 
should be permitted to eat in the 
cafeteria. 

Bob Sperandio, director of social 
affairs, and Oscar Bourg, freshman 
representative on Council, both 
boarders at the University, sup¬ 
ported Mr. Mitchell’s charges. 

The Council has recognized the 
general discontent amongst the stu¬ 
dents with the respect to present 
conditions and has done everything 
in its power to force a change in 
rules. The appeal will be brought 
before the House Rules Committee 
of the centre at their next meeting. 


WUSC ANNOUNCES 
SEMINAR CHOICE 

The World University Service 
Council has announced that it has 
chosen Paul Kennedy, third year 
Arts, as Assumption’s representa¬ 
tive to the W.U.S.C. Seminar in 
Poland this summer. Students from 
almost every university in Canada 
will embark from Montreal at the 
end of June to spend five weeks at 
the University of Poznan and the 
University of Uroclaw. 

Because group discussion is the 
mode of conduct for this seminar 
— this year entitled “Culture 
Among Nations” the participants 
must individually prepare a pro¬ 
ject paper to be given at the 
seminar and also master French 
and acquire an understanding of 
Polish. 

When the seminar ends on 
August 12th the students are free 
to remain abroad, at their own ex¬ 
pense and to tour the rest of 
Europe. An invitation has even 
been extended to them to tour the 
other Soviet satellite countries. 


NIP McMASIER, 

EDGED BY BLUES 

by trev 

Two redhot teams, poor team 
play and a multitude of fouls, com¬ 
bined last weekend to provide the 
Lancers with the worst two con¬ 
secutive games they have played in 
Intercollegiate competition this sea¬ 
son. 

In the Friday night game the 
Assumption squad was extremely 
foftunate to edge past a vastly un¬ 
derrated McMaster team 73-66. The 
hitherto “lossless Lancers” were up¬ 
set on Saturday by another suo- 
posedly “weak” five, the U of T 
Varsity blues, who squeaked by the 
league leaders 68-67. 

After the fired-up Varsity squad 
sunk their first basket the pattern 
for the game was established. From 
then on the Lancers were never able 
to pull ahead more than four poin* 
although they never trailed by m> 
than eight. 

Undoubtedly the biggest 1 
to Lancer aspirations came i 
Bernie Friesmuth, the least y 
lzed player the night I, 
fouled out. Bernie, (the vie' 
several wierd calls), sat 
with more than nine min " 
in the first half. Alters, 
personal fouls were caliJ 
first half, while only eig 
handed out in the second. 

Hank Biasetti’s “pressiLi^^^— 
defence, which has wq- 
against other clubs, fir 
ably in the tiny Har| 

Despite the almost su 
forts of Bob Horvatl 
the Blues cracked the 
ally, and at the mid-gar 
38 to 34. 

In the second half tiU 
came roaring back and foi . , 
while looked like they were going 
to leave Varsity in their dust, but 
Toronto hooped two quick baskets 
taking the lead again by one point. 
From that point on was a tight bat¬ 
tle between the two clubs with the 
Blues ahead most of the time. 

During the last thirty seconds 
of play Varsity never had a shot 
on the Assumption basket while 
the Lancers missed three at¬ 
tempts, including an easy lay-up. 
The last opportunity to pull ahead 
came with just three seconds lef 4 - 
on the clock. A jump-ball was 
called for in the shadow of the 
Toronto basket but Varsity won 
the ball and cleared it down the 
court to cinch their victory. 

Bob Moore sparkled in defe 
scoring 24 points and pulling do^ 

21 rebounds to lead both teams 
both departments. McElroy v 
high man for Varsity with 
points. Ron Graham and Bob F 
vath contributed 15 and 8 point 
a losing cause.

Dissention Cracks 
Cheerleading Ranks 

Ban Cha-Cha Cheer! 

In the past two months dissention has split the ranks of an organiza¬ 
tion which, must be a unified, congenial structure for the benefit of the 
student body. Differences have occurred between members of the cheer¬ 
leading squad which has led to the resignation of one member and the 
election of a new captain of the squad late last month. 

The cause of such strife may have originated because of lack of super¬ 
vision of the organization by a higher authority or through weak execu¬ 
tive action by the cheerleaders themselves. We prefer to think it was 
the former. 

The action of the cheerleading squad to December were commend¬ 
able. The student pep rally was thoroughly organized despite the lack 
of attendance by the student body. The cheers were of college type and 
capable of being performed before large audiences of sports fans. 

Then the group ran into trouble. If it is a feeling that their group 
should run as any other club on campus that was the cause of dissention, 
the Athletic Department should set this straight. It is time someone 
stepped in and supervised cheerleading activities and took responsibility 
for the selection of new members. 

The Athletic Department should accept this task. It is their duty to 
see that cheerleading operations run smoothly, for, if the cheerleaders 
go, part of the team goes — and who can win with part of a team? 

The Athletic Department supplied the squad with money for new 
uniforms two years ago. When boys joined the cheerleading role last 
vear they shelled out again for uniforms. They pay all expenses for 
oad games, and yet they have not taken an active interest to see such 
group runs orderly. 

’iew clique has stepped into the limelight among the cheerleaders. 
/ have refused to recognize the work done by others in the past to 
:e the squad a “uniform” uniformed group, and instead, have become 
pporters of high school, novelty cheers such as the “Cha-Cha Cheer” 
ked up at the one-day cheerleaders training program at Assumption 
b School last month. 

"vt Locan, University of Michigan coach, who conducted the 
leg exhibited this cheer. But he also mentioned what is clearly 
wi.n his book: the Cha-Cha Cheer is strictly a high-school stunt 
2% for pep rallies or before small audiences. It is not adaptable 
teuniversity game whose large audiences demand big motions and 
dst a wiggle and shake from cheerleaders posteriors. It does not 
mention the school name in its “sing-song chant.” 

;’s hope the Athletic Department or its representatives step in to 
c -ordinate cheering activities, select leaders from those candidates trying 
out for the squad, and use their sound judgement to select cheers which 
truly show the intellect of this university. 


What Did They 
Return Home For? 

One of the great disappointments of 1962 expressed by several alumni 
and all students was the lack of student-alumni programming. Also in¬ 
dicated by some of those who returned home was a lack of alumni- 
alumni events, to be sponsored by the student body (not those f-l-o-w-i-n-g 
parties as those planned by the Alumni Association in the ballroom of 
the Student Centre Saturday night). 

Student planning was left in the hands of the Men’s Athletic Depart¬ 
ment this year, which as the SAC realizes now, was partially a mistake. 
They were asked by SAC to sponsor Homecoming activities because of 
funds they possessed that were available for such use. Outside of making 
arrangements for a student-student hockey match, a student-alumni 
bowling game (at a location miles from campus), and a dance following 
the Lancer-Queen’s basketball contest, they left an empty schedule. 

Efforts by SAC at the last minute to add to activities with a skating 
party on campus Saturday afternoon and a dance at the Centre with free 
admission met with failure because of the late announcement. 

The SAC have passed a resolution to call upon the Alumni Associ¬ 
ation’s co-operation for combined planning to make a more complete and 
non-conflicting schedule at Homecoming next year. They have also 
called for (and are prepared to plan) a more balanced program with 
more student activities. 


Letters To The Editor 


Mourns CCF Death, 
Hits New Dem Platform 

Dear Sir: 

The passing of the CCF Party 
this past summer leaves a vacuum 
in Canadian politics that will be dif¬ 
ficult to fill. The New Democratic 
Party that supposedly replaced the 
CCF is a conglomeration of polit¬ 
ical beliefs, ranging from the far 
right to the extreme left. 

It has no central theme, lacks a 
specific platform, and is void of 
originality. In short, it is a vehicle 
attempting to fulfill the political 
ambitions of a few eager souls 
searching for power, not for any 
definite purpose, but simply for the 
sake of power itself. 

By forcing the death of the CCF, 
the NDP attempted to bring in a 
party composed of a true cosmopol¬ 
itan picture of Canada. This was 
to be the party of the farmer, of the 
businessman, the labourer, the in¬ 
tellectual, the white collar worker, 
and the old age pensioner. 

But in fact what resulted was a 
party composed of disgruntled Con¬ 
servatives, dispirited Liberals, and 
ban-the-bombers. The CCF-ers 
were forced into the background, 
told that they were too idealistic, 
and that their policies were not with 
the times. In its place they sub¬ 
stituted ridiculous statements such 
as the immediate establishment of a 
Guaranteed Employment Act which 
promises a job to every one who 
wants one, but they failed to men¬ 
tion how this policy would be car¬ 
ried out. 

Perhaps the CCF was a bit ideal¬ 
istic, but without idealism in politi¬ 
cal activity, a great void is created. 
If we have nothing to aim for then 
we have nothing to work for. Ideal¬ 
ism is what this country needs, and 
the only party that was supplying 
this was the CCF. It alone had the 
courage to stand up to the prin¬ 
ciples that it believed in, and it alone 
of all the political parties that this 


CUP Names 
New Editor 


Roger McAfee, editor-in-chief of 
the Ubyssey, the University of 
British Columbia varsity paper, has 
been elected national president of 
Canadian University Press. 

The announcement follows the 
naming of the Ubyssey as the best 
university, newspaper in Canadian 
University Press competition. As¬ 
sumption University is not a mem¬ 
ber of CUP. 

The Ryersonian, student of 
publication of Toronto’s Ryerson 
Institute of Technology, has pro¬ 
tested what it calls “the confusion 
in the selection of winners for the 
Southam Trophy.” In a letter to 
all members of CUP it asks sup¬ 
port for a referendum which 
would nullify the results of this 
year’s Southam competition. 

The Ryersonian and the Univer¬ 
sity of Alberta’s Gateway tied for 
second place in the judging.

country had was the party that in¬ 
fluenced the policies of the others. 
Without the CCF, much of our 
social legislation would never have 
been passed. 

The Liberals of course claim the 
credit for introducing these prin¬ 
ciples of social welfare into legisla¬ 
tion; but it was the idealism of the 
CCF that encouraged the Liberals 
to redesign their platform and in¬ 
troduce such acts. The Conserva 
tives in the past few years have 
swung from the extreme rightism of 
George Drew to the moderatism 
that they display today under John 
Diefenbaker. This too was due to 
awareness of the social problems 
that Canadians now have, an aware¬ 
ness caused by the idealism of the 
CCF. 

I am not a believer of all CCF 
policies, but on the same hand, I 
realize that many of these policies 
have great merit. I am, or like to 
call myself liberal, a liberal with the 
small. T since these days seem to 
be the days of small “c” and small 
“1.” But if the NDP is going to call 
itself “liberal,” in the tradition of 
small “1,” then I shall have to find 
a new term for myself. Perhaps it 
will be small “c” in the tradition of 
ccf.

Bus Damage 
Costs $1200 

McGill Students Executive Coun¬ 
cil paid $1170 for two damage 
claims involved with the November 
18 McGill-Queen’s game at Kings¬ 
ton. Seven hundred dollars went to 
the C.N.R. for passenger car dam¬ 
age and $470 to Kingston Coach 
Co. for damaged upholstery to three 
buses carrying students to the train. 

Precautionary measures against 
any future damage bills are being 
discussed by the S.E.C. 


STUDENTS TO JUDGE 
PROFS? 

In an open letter to Dr. James A. 
Cory, principal of Queen’s Uni¬ 
versity, the Queen’s Journal have 
proposed that students should con¬ 
sult with the university administra¬ 
tion and give their assessment of 
professors. 

A second proposal in the front¬ 
page editorial asked the Queen’s 
administration to consider having 
three terms in every year, so that 
students and staff could stagger 
their vacations and keep the uni¬ 
versity’s facilities in use all year. 


Liberals Cited

BULLETIN — A model Lib¬ 
eral Parliament at the University 
of Toronto has abolished religion 
is in religious education in the 
province’s public schools. It de¬ 
cided the province will return to 
the principle of nondenominational 
public schools. 

The Model Parliament Liberal 
government at the University oh 
Toronto began session last week 
by abolishing religious education in 
Ontario public schools. 

On the lighter side, the Liberals 
appointed Conservative George 
Hees a member of the Physical 
Education Council to teach children 
under five how to ride a tricycle. 
Legislation was introduced to allow 
sale of the controversial “Topic of 
Cancer” in Canada. John Diefen¬ 
baker was labelled a man destined 
to cut ribbons and float toy battle¬ 
ships, rather than lead Canada. The 
fallout shelter at the Prime Min¬ 
ister’s residence in Ottawa was 
found to be a still to pasteurize milk. 

All this was humorous sidelight 
legislation put forth prior to debate 
on the Speech from the Throne. 

Guest speaker at the opening 
session was Hon. Roland Mich- 
ener speaker of the House of 
Commons. He described the 
gathering as a “very model parlia¬ 
ment.” 

A bill to create a National Econ¬ 
omic Council was passed only after 
a vote recount. The bill calls for an 
Advisory Council to “regulate in¬ 
vestment and economic growth in 
the National interest.” New Demo¬ 
crats termed it “tinkering, not econ¬ 
omic planning,” while Tories called 
it “a permanent un-Royal Com¬ 
mission with teeth.” 

The Liberal government also 
established an “Agency for Peace” 
to study the effectiveness of 
Canada’s defense system and the 
possibility of controlled disarm¬ 
ament. 

One editorial writer in U. of T.’s 
Varsity criticized the “buffoonery” 
of the parliament stating, “If stu¬ 
dents wish to see the insanity at 
Ottawa ended, then part of the cure 
lies in a comprehensible and sane 
Model Parliament programme.”

From The Pleasure Dome 

By ALEX PAVLINI 

As a sportscar owner, I have watched, on many occasions, the frantic, 
decorum shattering attempts of women in various attire, to maintain 
ladylike dignity as they fold up like a genuine barlow knife and set them¬ 
selves in my car. 

A sportscar, I like to think, separates the unitiated from the refined. 
In days of yore, a lady was known by the way she sat on a horse . . . . 
.... among other things, but grandmother had no idea how lucky she 
was in comparison. The language of the fan, swirling of gowns grace¬ 
fully, peeking coquettishly from beneath a parasol, all these signs of 
former gentility, pale beside the pressure her contemporary must endure 
with the advent of the compact car. 

To begin, there is a right and wrong way. To simply take a running 
leap at the two seater, while it may achieve the goal, is not the right 
and proper manner, and is to be frowned upon as being most unladylike. 

Many people feel that, inasmuch as it is a sportscar, the devil may care 
attitude is to be adopted. However, I should like to think that we are 
ladies and gentlemen, whatever the mode of conveyance. 

One must approach the automobile unflinchingly, with an almost blase 

attitude.therefore, such remarks as, “Oh, how is big old me 

going to get into that tiny thing?” or, “Isn’t that a cute, little bug?” are 
to be studiously avoided. 

By the way, on some sportcars, it’s difficult to determine which way 
the door opens, so I would suggest standing well behind the gentleman 
to avoid a crack in the shin. By this time, however, many women are 

so rattled that they just fall into the car, trusting to luck.for 

shame. The last time I encountered this approach to the problem, it 
took an hour and a half to disengage a high heel from between the 
transmission tunnel and the handbrake. Another favourite gambit among 
novices is to employ the above mentioned method and add something 
like, “Golly, I slipped,” which comes off rather badly with one who has 
driven a sportscar for any length of time. 

The correct procedure, approved and tested by countless owners is 
relatively simple: grasp the top of the open door with the right hand, 
and with the left, reach into the car and place it on the back of the seat 
you plan to sit in. Now then, contrary to regular car procedure, it is 
the head which enters first. With your two hands thus placed, lift 
yourself slightly so that both feet are off the ground and propel your¬ 
self inward and upward, and while your body is in a relatively free 

fall, twist smartly to the right . . . from the hip please,. 

which will place you directly in line with the seat and you will drop 
neatly into it ... . after practice .... don’t be disappointed if you 
ricochet from side to side the first few times. 

Practice, and soon you will gain the necessary confidence and special 
judgement necessary for proper sportscar seating. Let me warn you at 
this point, that some people will suggest other systems, but then, they 
always do. 

Once in the car, the next question is, of course, how to get out? This 
is not as easy I’m afraid and if it’s possible to arrange dates around 


drive-in movies and restaurants, so much the better.however, 

you must emerge sooner or later, mustn’t you? How to do this with as 

much grace and ease as when you entered???.“Ladies, it’s 

impossible.”

In My Little Comer 
Of The World 

By PAUL KENNEDY 

The world has been busy making New Year resolutions now that 1962 
has arrived. Feature writers have poured out reems of material dealing 
with resolutions for someone else to make. 

All I want to do this week to 
welcome the New Year is make a 
wish. 



Trev Collier, director of cultural 
affairs, told Council last week that 
the university has been asked to 
participate in the formation of a 
inter-university workshop. At pre¬ 
sent the project is only in the plan¬ 
ning stage, but it is hoped that 
eventually it will include all the 
universities in the Border Cities 
area. 

The purpose of the workshop 
will be to discuss common student 
problems, to have an interchange 
of student talent (particularly in 
the musical field), to carry out 
exchange dances and weekends, 
and in general to promote a better 
understanding between the vari¬ 
ous universities. 

Last week a discussion for the 
workshop was held in our Univer¬ 
sity Centre. Kathy Howsley and 
Trev Collier represented Assump¬ 
tion at this meeting. 

* * * 

The Council was also informed 
that the ill-fated Choral and Music 
Society failed to submit their budget 
as they had been asked. The request 
had been made as a result of the 
confusion created last fall when it 
was revealed that student funds 
were being used by these organiza¬ 
tions to help sponsor Dr. Glinski’s 
Musical Evenings. 

Since the Society failed to produce 
their proposed budget it was de¬ 
cided that their present budget 
would be cancelled. If the Society 


needs funds in the future it will 
have to come before the Council 
and ask for them. 

This action should not hamper 
the operation of the Society for 
they may still receive funds. The 
only difference is that now when 
they wish to spend money they 
will have to present separate re¬ 
quests to the Council. 

Paul Mitchell, director of inter 
university affairs, notified the Coun¬ 
cil that there were several confer¬ 
ences in the offering. There is to be 
a conference on Commonwealth Af¬ 
fairs at the University of Manitoba 
in Winnipeg to which at least one 
and possibly two students will be 
sent. Five students may attend a 
seminar at Guelph on “The Scien¬ 
tist’s Responsibility to Society” 
while one delegate will be attending 
a conference on education in Mon¬ 
treal. 


Players To 
Appear On 
AU Stage 

The Stratford Shakespearean 
Players will present “Two Pro¬ 
grams of Shakespearean Comedy” 
at Assumption University on 
February 12 with matinee and eve¬ 
ning performances. 

This is the first time in three 
years that the Company has gone 
on tour. But this time the tour is 
being devoted entirely to univer¬ 
sities, eleven in Canada and one in 
the United States. 

Michael Langham, artistic dir¬ 
ector of the Festival has devised 
two evenings of entertainment. 
The first presented in street 
clothes will be in the nature of a 
“planned rehersal” in which it 
will be seen how actors and their 
director approach particular 
Shakespearean scenes, shaping 
them toward a finished produc¬ 
tion. The second, in costume will 
consist of excerpts from four of 
the better-known comedies, “A 
Midsummer Night’s Dream,” 
“Much Ado About Nothing,” 
“Twelfth Night” and “The Mer¬ 
chant of Venice.” 

Ten players will be involved. All 
of them — Eric Christmas, Leo 
Ciceri, Peter Donat, Pat Galloway, 
Bruno Gerussi, Amelia Hall, 
Michael Learned, William Needles, 
Douglas Rain and Kate Reid — 
have been prominent in past pro¬ 
duction. 

The idea for the university tour 
was born some two years ago when 
a group of university heads ap¬ 
proached Mr. Langham with the 
proposal that the Stratford Festival 
could contribute to the study of 
English, and Shakespeare in parti¬ 
cular. Out of these discussions the 
r»lan of the tour evolved. The uni¬ 
versities themselves undertook to 
underwrite half the expenses of the 
project while the Canada Council 
generously volunteered to assume 
the balance of the costs. 

COTC Plans

I wish that there was some con¬ 
sistency in the matter of class 
attendance around Assumption 
University. 

You’ve undoubtedly noticed it. 
There is the Oxford-type teacher 
who believes that his job is to lec¬ 
ture and whether students come or 
not doesn’t matter. All are equally 
responsible for the work covered. 

Then there is the type (I don’t 
know what to call them) who say 
they are the “Oxford-type,” that 
they don’t demand attendance at 
lectures, but who strangely enough 
take attendance carefully at every 
lecture. 

And lastly, of course, there is the 
“high-school-type” teachers who 
don’t feel students should ever miss 
lectures under any circumstances 
and take off marks for absences. 

One school I know gives three 
absences per semester to each 
student. Yes, they can even be 
saved until before a vacation. Any 
number of absences over three 
are reported and the student must 
give an accounting to the Dean. 

Before and after holiday week¬ 
ends, however, absences cost the 
student three cuts, instead of the 
normal one. 

The nice thing about this whole 
set-up is not that it is perfect, but 
that all the students know what is 
the standard procedure all the wa; 
through. 

Consistency is always nice. I wis’ 

I wish, I wish ....

sports highlights 

by trev 

McMaster Marauders looked bet¬ 
ter than Western ever did in the 
game Friday night. The Macs dom¬ 
inated the backboards in the first 
half and showed the Lancers some 
mighty fancy shooting from out¬ 
side. In fact the Marauders packed 
three men in so tight under the 
boards that ace rebounders Bob 
Moore and Bernie Friesmuth found 
it almost impossible to squeeze in 
there. Despite the fact that Mc¬ 
Master only had two men outside 
the key most of the time the 
Lancers didn’t try many long shots. 
A notable exception was Bernie 
Friesmuth, whose first four perfect 
jump shots were compared by a 
Hamilton sportswriter to “feathers 
dropping through a hoop.” 

Barry Ager was a tower of 
strength as he pumped in 10 field 
goals and three foul shots to lead 
both sides in the scoring column 

.Assumption clicked on a 

surprising 55.5 per cent of their at¬ 
tempts from the floor — they didn’t 
look that good. 

The be;t things that Toronto 
had going for them on Saturday 
night was the officiating which 
ranged from lousy to laughable, 
and a gym which in some ways 
resembles a king-sized rat trap, 
(complete with rats). 

Peter “Pan” Potter who has 
played in the confines of Hart 
House longer than most pros last, 
(nine years to be exact), has, with¬ 
out doubt the best two-handed set 
shot in the league. Somebody 
should tell him that the game just 
isn’t plaved that way any more. 

Coach John Metras of U.W.O. 
took only nine players with him on 
the Queen’s-McGill trip. Two of 
his best players, Whit Tucker and 
Leo Innocente, were left in London 
suffering from undisclosed ailments. 
If they are not in the lineup by the 
time Western meets U of T another 
upset is almost bound to take place. 


Six Straight 
For Quintet 

Assumption’s women’s intercol¬ 
legiate basketball team continued its 
winning ways last week with a 
27-20 exhibition victory over Pat¬ 
terson High School of Windsor. 

Carolyn Wilkinson and Barb 
Macedonski paced the Assumption 
squad to its ninth consecutive vic¬ 
tory with 11 and nine points res¬ 
pectively. Pat Harrison copped top 
scoring honours for Patterson with 
14 of her teams 20 points. 

Assumption led 10-4 at the end of 
the first quarter and held a six 
point advantage at the half, leading 
14-8. Patterson managed to pull 
to within two points of Assumption 
late in the fourth quarter but two 
quick baskets by Barb Macedonski 
put the game out of reach. 

The victory marked the sixth ex¬ 
hibition vitory for the Assumption 
quintet.

Gals Defeat Male Squad 


The Nameless Wonders, the?+ 
men’s answer to the Blue Bombers, 
fell victim last week to the women’s 
intercollegiate volleyball squad after 
previously posting five consecutive 
victories over this same team. 

The Wonders managed to stretch 
their winning streak to five games 
before falling to the Blue Bombers 
in the last of three contests held 
last Monday night. 

Jim Barry, Don Kasta, Pete Mor¬ 
an, and Bowes Dempsey figured in 
the scoring in the first game as the 
Wonders whipped the Bombers 14 
7. Jim and Don shared scoring hon¬ 
ours with four points apiece. Bowes 
and Pete followed with three points 
each. 

The second game was much the 
same story with the Wonders 
swamping the girls 18-7. Don Kasta 
was scoring leader again with seven 
points. Jim Barry and Phil Fitz¬ 
patrick contributed five points 
apiece in the Nameless victory. 

The Blue Bombers turned the 
tables on the Nameless squad in 
the third contest, emerging on top 
in the 21-10 rout. Barb Macedonski 
and Eleanor Duda paced the 
Bomber squad with eight points 
apiece. Phil Fitzpatrick was high 
scorer for the Wonders with five 
points. The defeat was the first for 
the Wonders this season. 

In over all point totals the 
Bombers emerged on top 55-42, due 
mainly to the 20 point handicap 


given them by the Nameless Won 
ders. 

Another challenge has been is 
sued and accepted. Monday, Febru 
ary 5 is the date set for the third 
encounter. Game time is 8:00 p.m. 

Referee in last week’s contest 
was Mrs. Sis Thomson, women’s 
assistant athletic director. Cheer¬ 
leaders for the Nameless Wonders 
were John Volpe and Dick Hall.
